Bath resealing in Old Tebay, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Old Tebay. What changes the price is:

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Tebay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Old Tebay questions
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Old Tebay.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our prices page.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.

Preparing for the visit
